Provider Desk BLOG: January 2004

From Blogger

"A blog is a web page made up of usually short, frequently updated posts that are arranged chronologically-like a what's new page or a journal. The content and purposes of blogs varies greatly-from links and commentary about other web sites, to news about a company/person/idea, to diaries, photos, poetry, mini-essays, project updates, even fiction."

Important note: This document is intended to include relevant and interesting links for local support providers (LSPs) at the University of Pennsylvania. Information Systems & Computing (ISC) does not endorse any of these external links.
